COVID-19 Response Child Abuse Prevention Statement

In response to the COVID-19 outbreak, Our Children Oregon is providing supplemental funds and support to our Affiliate organizations who are providing direct services to at-risk families during this time. Our partners are relief nurseries, home visiting services, and parent education programs dedicated to Child Abuse Prevention efforts in Oregon. As a state, we must acknowledge the impact that the COVID-19 crisis is having on the health and well-being of our most vulnerable children and their families.

The stresses of daily life for families in Oregon have increased significantly, resources are in short supply, and they need your support. During this crisis, our Affiliates are working tirelessly to ensure that they are keeping children safe. Our dedicated partners are checking in with families remotely by offering virtual home visits and mentoring support to parents, caregivers, and youth. In addition to providing mental health supports, home visitors and staff are delivering meals, diapers, formula, and other supplies to families.
